It can hold geometry, universal material options, helper objects and cameras. I personally consider the FBX format to be the most suitable for such operations. There are not many options available for exporting a whole scene.

It is a white backdrop made from a plane primitive and five VRayLight Planes around the Pig Skull 3D model as a lighting setup. The original scene setup is fairly simple. The first step is to export an entire scene. So let's find out how ready the Cycles renderer really is to produce photorealistic images. So, the Cycles developers describe their creation as a physically based production render. And of course, it will be interesting to compare V-Ray I'm experienced with and free open source Cycles I'm actually using for the first time in commercial project. This allows me to setup material in Blender, making sure that Scull 3D model will looks in Cycles the same as in V-Ray. To have a second 'native' format as close as possible to the original, I have the idea to convert an already made 3ds Max scene to Blender, while maintaining the same 'pixel-to-pixel' camera frame shot, same studio geometry and of course, the same light sources location and intensity values relative to each other. Originally, 3D model topology, unwrapping job, material tweaking and white rendering studio setup for presentation imagery, as you can already guess, was done using 3ds Max and V-Ray.

So while working on one of my latest projects, in particular the Pig Skull 3D Model, I decided to add the Blender option as an alternative to the native 3ds Max format. Therefore, Blender can no longer be ignored as a serious competitor to any 3D editor for commercial work. These changes make Blender a super handy tool. In tools for modeling, in a way you manipulate the viewport, in UI, in variety of hotkeys, etc. Not only because it's free, but also because it has fewer obligations to users (more on that later), and thanks to this, Blender developers embody unconventional, the most modern, extremely useful and bold ideas, despite the fact that it brings significant and sometimes breaking changes in functionality and workflow.

But lately, Blender's free 3D editing software has become increasingly popular.
